In April we’ve made the official announcement of our turn-based strategy called Spaceland, the actions of which take place in a futuristic entourage. How much does it differ from our previous creation - the Braveland fantasy trilogy – and what should you expect from our new creation? We will try to answer these questions.
Fast-paced XCOM
While creating the game, we focused on such mastodons like XCOM and Fire Emblem, but at the same time paid attention to modern state of gaming. Nowadays, not everyone wants to get stuck on a difficult mission for an hour or two, that’s why we made our plays last from 5 to 15 minutes. So you’ll get a dynamic tactical gameplay with short but exciting levels, flashy FX and capacious characters speeches. Such fast pace and overall liveliness of the gameplay does not let you get bored, continually supporting your interest.
Braveland storyline development
Tortuga Team followers call our new game “Braveland in space,” but everything is much more interesting! Braveland's original trilogy was a tribute to HOMM series and other hexagonal strategies. Spaceland relies on games such as the classic XCOM, Incubation and Laser Squad. The plot is inspired by the books of the “golden age” of science fiction and futuristic games of the past. Therefore, compared with the fantasy trilogy, our space strategy is significantly deeper. Spaceland diligently develops the plot and interaction between the characters, moving to a new level of narration. Heroes are more complex, with their own sympathies, conflicts and other delights of a close team.
Spaceland gets harder
But it’s not just the setting that distinguishes the lands of the brave adventurers from the space rangers. It is important to understand that Spaceland draws inspiration from the squad turn-based strategies of the past, and therefore has a fair amount of difficulty geting close to the midcore genre, and some missions may even feel hardcore. You may remember Incubation – a wonderful game, were levels sometimes resembled multimove combination of puzzles. Tortuga Team is not going to crush the player with impossible tasks, but tactical skills and inquisitiveness of the mind definitely will not be out of place.
We will continue to share with you details about our new game Spaceland. You could share your opinion with us. Should Spaceland be more hardcore or rather midcore like Braveland?
